The coastal regions generally enjoy mild winters and hot summers. During the winter bad weather tends to accumulate mostly over the coastal mountain ranges, which frequently leads to warm and sunny winter days. The contrast of the mild winter weather with a backdrop of snow-capped mountains is delightful.
When to go
The coastal ancient city, Kotor is famous for it's winter festivals.
Temperatures and weather conditions can vary rapidly in the mountains and all visitors should ensure they have the correct equipment and an experienced guide. The Durmitor National Park, complete with ice caves and ski slopes, is a 'must see' location for winter visitors.
The best time is summer though, for nice weather on beautiful beaches.
During the summer months the mountain regions offer a temperate climate, high mountain pastures and lakes, together with a wide variety of wildlife ranging from wild horses to bear, birds and even the worlds rarest wolf.
White water rafting or kayaking the Tara Canyon is the 'must do'. The Tara is exciting – but safe! The rapids are only 1.5 meters high, the water is crystal clear, the canyon walls are lush.
